Going to Chicago looks better than than No-Name University, all else equal. However, all else is rarely equal. For example, a 4.0 from some small state school probably looks better than a 2.8 from Chicago. Then the question becomes where do the two profiles become equal?

Also, if students go out of their way, they might be able to get similar research opportunities, especially if they are willing to travel during summer break.
